F1 season starts late March.

Who would be interested in a tipping comp?
$20 entry with prize money and probably a BBQ at the end of the season.
I will be looking into the administration options with websites (the ones I have looked at so far haven't opened up their F1 tipping comps, so I can't see the options), but most of them seem too in depth (for example on www.oztips.com.au you have to pick pole position, 1st place, 2nd place, 1st team and top 8 drivers).
If I can't find one that can keep it simple or where I can choose what we want to tip each round, I will just run a simple spreadsheet, as the tipping sites I have come across are a little too detailed to attract interest of those that don't follow the season intensely. This is meant to be a bit of fun for everyone.
I am aiming for the following:
You will need to tip the following and points will be allocated as follows for each round:
1 point - Pole
3 points - 1st place
1 point - Podium (choose 1 person who will be on the podium)
1 point - First DNF (if everybody finishes the race, tipper has to choose nobody for this one)
1 point - fastest lap
No tips = lowest score for the round
If people are interested, I might try and find a pub that is reasonably central and broadcsts the races (does anyone know if Foxtel broadcasts the races live?) so we can go and watch them.
I am all for constructive criticism an suggestions, but don't post saying "that sux" or similar.
For those on bike forums, yes, this idea has come from there (tipping and watching at the pub). I don't need to be told that.
